Character Cards is a feature that is accessed from the character
selection screen on each server. Character Cards are given for each
second, third, and fourth job characters. They are used to add
minor buffs to characters.

9 character cards can used at any time. There are 3 decks,
separated by tabs, numbered 1, 2 and 3 on the Character Cards
screen. If you put character cards in a deck, all characters in the
same account and world will receive the buff. There are 3 tabs, so
don't forget to apply all of your characters if you have more than
three at second job or above. However, you cannot use 2 or more of
a card that is of the same exact job (regardless of what card rank
they are). That means, for example, you can put Bowmaster card with
Crossbow Master card and Wind Breaker card but never another
Bowmaster or Crossbow Master or Wind breaker card in the other
decks including the current one.

There are 4 levels of character cards, depending on what job
advancement the character has achieved:

Deck effects are given if a deck is filled. Unique Deck effects
give additional special stats such as maximum critical damage
increase and final attack damage increase. However, only 1 of each
Unique deck effect is used so when there are duplicates of the same
effect, the better one is applied. (Duplicate means that the deck
effect name is exactly the same, so you can have up till 30 all
stats with Free Spirit, The Glorious Return and Blaze of
Resistance) The rank of the unique deck effects are based on the
average level of all 3 cards and it will correspond with the
requirements and rank. You can get up till 3 different Unique deck
effects and they stack with Regular deck effects.

Note: If you place any Nova jobs, Sengoku jobs or Zero card in
any deck, they will break the "Free Spirit", "Blaze of Resistance",
"The Glorious Return" and "Honour of Cygnus" deck effect for that
deck., though Nova job cards have the same colour as Explorer job
cards.

If Zero card is placed for Warrior's bonus deck, the rank is
formulated as per normal and not based on Zero's card rank level
requirements.

Regular deck effects can be stacked unlike Unique Deck effects.
Regular deck effects give HP, MP, ATT , Magic ATT and Boss damage.
You can stack up till 3 Regular deck effects and they stack with
Unique deck effects. Regular deck effect rank is based on the
lowest card rank in the deck. (Example: If you have 3 S rank cards
the deck is S rank effect. If there is 2 SS rank and 1 B rank, the
deck effect will be counted as B rank.)

Note: Not necessarily must all 3 cards be the same rank. As
long as they are above the stated rank, you get the corrssponding
effect.
